Over 180 years of photography...

By
It is hard to believe how long that photography and videography has been around since the latter began in the 19th century! I was just perusing through YouTube today, and came across a video of the world's oldest photos, and now, out of pure curiosity, I was delighted to find out that 2019 is the 180th anniversary of the daguerreotype, and so I decided to write on the history of photography and videography. Now, here's a timeline of photography/videography:

1826-1827: The first photo, View From The Window at Le Gras. Taken almost 200 YEARS AGO! How was THAT taken 200 YEARS AGO? It feels like it was taken when the dinosaurs were here! 😂😂😂😮😮😮


1839: The daguerreotype is introduced. Technically, the photo dates to 1837, but still, it was a very long time ago, and daguerreotypes were a huge advancement in camera quality during this time. I mean, the photo looks so good, it could almost be considered "clear" in 2019!
Taken 180 years ago!


1861: The first "real" color photograph. There was another one taken in 1850, but most of it was added later on, so it doesn't count. Taken over 150 years ago!


1878: The beginning of videography. This "film" of 15 seconds was taken in 1878 as the first video. Recorded over 140 years ago!


1888: What many consider as the first video, Roundhay Garden Scene, was recorded in 1888 as what many consider the first video. Sorry about it being only 3 seconds, that was all tech had in 1888!
Recorded over 130 years ago!


1894-1895: The beginning of sound film. This was REVOLUTIONARY back in the day, and can easily be looked back on!
Recorded about 125 years ago!


1902: The first color video. What a great way to start a new century! Recorded over 110 years ago!


1992: The first photo uploaded to the internet. Taken over 25 years ago!

April 23, 2005: The first video on YouTube and possibly the internet! Recorded over 13 years ago!


July 16, 2010: The first photo on Instagram and possibly modern social media. Aww, how cute! Taken over 8 years ago!


And finally, to modern day...


Mar 23, 2019: My own photo of the sunset in New Haven, CT yesterday! We went to IKEA; we hadn't been since September 2018, and it was time for a revisit, especially with the new kid! Wait, NEW KID? Find out about that and all my weekly adventures on S1 E20 of My High School Years, coming 3.29.19!

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
